Castell Howell’s Martin Jones wins Outstanding Leadership Award

Castell Howell Foods has announced that shareholder and transport director Martin Jones has won the Outstanding Leadership Award at the TCS&D Cold Chain Awards.

As the son of founder Brian Jones, Martin (pictured) has grown up within the family business. Over the years, he has transformed the company’s transport operations, helping to build what is described as one of the most efficient and resilient distribution networks in the wholesale sector.

He has also played a pivotal role in the company’s £18 million warehouse expansion, which will support future growth and enhance service for customers across the UK.

Commenting on the award, Martin said: “I am incredibly honoured to receive this award. Having grown up with the business, I have seen first-hand the values that my parents instilled from the very beginning: hard work, integrity and respect for people. These values continue to guide everything we do today.’’

He added: “I am fortunate to work alongside dedicated colleagues who care about our family business as much as I do. Any success we achieve is a reflection of the talented people across our business, whose skill, commitment and hard work make it possible for me to lead with confidence.

“I am excited about the future as we continue to invest in our people, strengthen our operations and build a business that will serve customers and communities for generations to come.”
